Star Wars: Revenge Of The Collectors Items

CAMBRIDGE, England (Wireless Flash - FlashNews)  Star Wars fanatics who
are buying up merchandise expecting it to become a collectors
item as the final Star Wars: Episode III  Revenge of the
Sith hits theaters may need a little help from The
Force.

Thats because a lot of the stuff will never appreciate
in value, according to super collector Jeremy Beckett, whose
Star Wars collection teeters around 7,000 items. Hes
also the author of The Official Price Guide to Star Wars
Memorabilia (Random House).

Beckett says wise collectors pick disposable items with the
Star Wars logos like hamburger wrappers and Band-Aids
because these are meant to be used and in a few years
theyll be scarce.

He also says any freebie items are a good investment. They can
appreciate a few dollars in a few years. However, toys that have
a production flaw are a bad investment, because unlike misprinted
coins, they dont go up in value.

Finally, Beckett predicts this years hottest toy with be
Darth Tater: A Mr. Potato Head dressed as Darth
Vader.
